I've been researching into the official titling of my current work which has been temporarily guised as As Sad as an Uninhabited House as it's been progressing. I came across Paul Quinn's Untitled Rooms series with the following accompanying text, which is appropriate for my series of "interiors" also: "Every room has its own history which is shaped and written by the individuals who live there.

I recently photographed for T-Mobile; updating the photographs on an e-learning programme to coincide with their rebranding strategy.

I was asked by fellow artist Ruth to help her out and take photographs for her new website and I was happy to oblige... Ruth knew exactly what she wanted so it was a nice and easy job done :) Each image illustrates a menu option for the website, from Contact to Kitchen... When it's up and running I strongly recommend perusing the Shop; some of the little creatures and anomalies that Ruth's

Having worked with Aurora, when they reformed to create Los I was asked again to take their band photograph - this time in the studio. We went for a simple, gimick-free approach... The photographs are available to view here as well as in the Commissions section.

"The 916. Grenadier Regiment is a 're-created' living history unit based on the actual unit that fought with distinction in North West Europe between 1944 and 1945... The unit was formed way back in 1978 by enthusiasts and collectors... Today the unit has a long and proud history as one of the premier World War Two German Infantry Units in the world." "The unit is made up of a group of

The As Sad as an Uninhabited House series continues... and I've given it a permanent home on my site with a view to getting close to a final edit over the next couple of months. I have started photographing the houses where the tenants have been evicted, rather than died, as there are more opportunities. Scrambling through the disgarded possessions of the evictees to find accidental still lives

I'll be working on the same project now for the next six months or so. I'm working alongside, and with the full consent of, a house clearance company. The company are called in to clear houses, in this case, those of people who have died and have no one to sort their possessions for them. Strangers systematically go in and remove everything from the property as quickly and as efficiently as

Ian Bennett & the Brothers of Sol have, so far this summer, staged two free events on Brighton Beach, which Ian asked me to photograph. He brings down his guitar, mic and band mates and plays to whoever's listening. What's more it's left open for anyone to come along with an instrument and join in. He's had a great response, with a huge variety of people stopping to listen and coming back for

I have just got back from a short trip to Turkey, staying in a village called Karakaya near Bodrum on the South West coast. From there I travelled to Dalyan, visiting the natural mud baths and hot springs. Swimming in a fresh water lake at sunset and turtle spotting at sunrise. From Dalyan to Olendiz, or blue lagoon, to paraglide. Then the tiny village of Faralya from which to trek into

I'm currently working with Chris Stewart on a self-directed project entitled Thinking Errors. The focus of the project is my sister, who succumbed suddenly to severe depression, anxiety attacks and obsessive compulsive tendancies about six weeks ago. Having to spend a lot of time with her I decided to use the opportunity and, with her full consent, document her hopeful recovery. The final

I've just got back from a trip to visit my good friend Dan in San Francisco; he moved over there for work four months ago. It was an intriguing escape to live alongside someone else's new life for a while and, of course, nice to spend time with my friend. The definate highlight of the week was sky diving! We began the accelerated free fall programme, which allows you to dive without being

Triptych is an exhibition of contemporary photography at the University of Brighton. The show offers a cultural exchange of ideas by combining the work of photography students at the University of Brighton with the work of students studying at the Hungarian University of Crafts and Design. A 'work in progress' show is going ahead in Budapest in April. Images from my recent Body, Self, Identity

I'm coming to the end of this project now and have been in the studio, working in colour. The idea progressed into blurring the boundaries between one twin and another, depicting an identity comprimising two people. The images appear to be of one person but are actually of two... Until I get my final colour photographs up, a few polaroids from the shoot are here.

So this is the New Year... I actually have a few things I want to accomplish this year and they are all already looking quite probable, finances depending of course! Go to San Francisco and sky dive Backpack in Mexico Take at least two snowboarding trips

I've photographed a few bands before, the most recent and professional of which are Fony. I've worked with them on two shoots so far... The first was in their recording studio for an article in Rock Sound Magazine. The second was a promotional shoot at a location they chose. The shoot went well and I'm pleased to say that everyone's happy with the outcome.

I recently worked on a project lead by Paul Reas, derived from A World of Interiors. With the subtitle Focus, I concentrated on how the television now acts as the fireplace of our time. It is the entity of a living room that the furniture is positioned around, and provides a centrepiece for the relaxation and comfort the living room was traditionally designed for.

I'm working on a project lead by Julia Winckler, entitled Body, Self, Identity. I have never worked on a project based around myself, so I'm interested to see what I'll produce. It's in its early stages but I'm photographing myself and my twin sister to produce a self-portrait series. I'll continually be updating what's online as the project progresses.

Happy Birthday Laura, here's your present. I've made you a little website to hold your photos and your thoughts. I hope you like the way it looks, but if you don't it is flexible so I can change it easily. From Dan

This is an official and very big thank you to you Dan, for making me this website. I appreciate and love it so much. It's good to finally have a place to display my work. I'm going to do my best to keep it updated so that where ever you, or anyone else is in the world, they will always find something interesting here.
